The Springfield REPUBLIC thinks Blaine
is too great man to be elected lgeSident.
How about George Washington, and Abra-
ham Lincoln. and General Grant and
James A Garfield Belleiontaine Repub-
licdn.
The people have had occasional spasms
of good sense that lasted long enough to
enable them to elect really great man
president That kind of a spasm was not
on them in 1854. Perhaps one of them
may come on next year. II Mr.. Blaine
should be renominated next year he can
certainly be elected over Grover Cleveland,
or any man the democrats can nominate.
The republicans can elect the man they
bring out next year. whoever lie is. The
Republican need not worry Itself in trying
To boom" Mr.. Blaine. His boom" will
take mighty good care of itself. Mr. Sher-
mans friends are not Mr.. Blaine's enemies.
Put that on the inside crown of your hat,
Brother Campbell, and do not hump
yourself too much these warm days.

This tribute is paid Ia the character and
memory OF noble woman the late wife
of Mr John Wallace, editor and proprietor
of the London Enterprise. by his contem-
pOrary. the editor OF the London Times
Mrs Wallace was woman of more than
ordinary intellectual ability. She was
everything to her family. Her husband. a
son and daughter. both grown. are left to
mourn the sudden death OF devoted wife
and affectnnate mother.
There are some peculiarly sad circum-
stances in connection with this death. Mr..
Wallace has been deprived of sight for
several years. during which time the cheer
full. loving wife had been eyes, hands and
feet to the afflicted husband, largely assunI-
ing the burdens and managing with rare
tact the business of publishing the Enter
prise. and by her death the duuby y-atfiicted
husband is left in darkness from which
there seems no human relief. The keenest.
tenderest sympathieS of all go out to the
bereaved husband and family.

morning, and We're largely attended The

| Mr.. Powderly takes a mean advantage of
the newspapers of the country, in persist
ing in saying such good and true things
that they cannot help printing them, at the
risk of calling out the criticism that they
are giving too much of Powderly. Now
| here is another utterance of the master
workman, recently made:
| know what the working people OF this
country want. and that want is not con-
| fined TO the Amerlcan-boIn wOrhingmen.
1t is universal That want is to restrict
immigration for the sake of the country
and immigrants. In other words, the work
ingman wants fair share that is afforded
10 the employers of Labor. The man who
is not elf-sustaining is a pauper, and this
country has no use for him. If the man
" ho lands in this country is a pauper, We
have to sustain him. If he throws a resi-
dent OF this country out of work, by taking
his situation away from him. and works for
less wages. he makes pauper of every
man thus ousted.
There was time when we could safely
take in everything that came 10 us. on two
legs, from foreign countries. but that time
has passed. Our social and industrial c0n-
dition> are such that We can only admit I'M
migrants who have some visible means OF
support and who will not prove an add
tiOnal burden to a country already heavily
laden. We have paupers and loaters
enough, and too many. They are not
only a burden but they are constantly re
cruiting the ranks of the trouble breeding
and criminal classes. This is a country for
workers-and those who cannot work, and
who cannot bring with them the means for
self support, should stay away.

derstanding in the date caused infinite
trouble and anxiety to the future Mrs.
Taylor, she arriving here q full two
weeks ahead Of time. OF course the

The lady stopped two days in Miles

Whited, of the court house, who be-
ing an old soldier himself, listened "

fine as soon as Mr.. Flood should rea.

like the faithful Damon, Flood failed

Whited thought it well to look the
town over in the hope Of running
across the recreant Flood, and was
happily rewarded in his search by
meeting him on the corner of Park

his discharge, cashed his papers and
was foot-loose to everything but the
bonds Of friendship, which hung 60

his discharge was not yet due, rs he
had to make up some days of lost
time. Seeing the blackness Of his
heart through this evssive answer

THE COMPASS PLANT.

How the Humble Pilot Weed Guides
Travellers Across the Western Prairies.
Long before men learned to poise q
piece of magnetized iron on pivot to
indicate the north, there were natural
compasses growing on the American
prairies, and they still flourish in large
numbers Us a reliable guide to travellers
across the American desert. They are
a peculiar species of plant, called the
compass plant, the pilot weed, or the
polar plant, and have been known for
generations to the Western hunters, al
though the scientific world has known
them but a short time. The edges of
its leaves are said to be always pointed
due north and south. An authority
states: Repeated observations upon
the prairies, with measurements by the
compass of the directions assumed by
hundreds of leaves. especially of the
radicle ones, have shown that as to
prevalent position the popular belief
has certain foundation in the fact"
Captain Mayne Reid mentions it in
one of his books as follows: 1--WE had a
guide to our direction unerring as the
magnetic needle. We were traversing
the region of the polar planet, the
planes of whose leaves at almost every
step pointed out our meridian. 1t
grew upon our track, and was crushed
under the hoofs of our horses as we
rode onward" The traveller Burton
also refers to it: "Whilst in the damper
ground appeared the polar plant, that
prairie compass the plane of whose
leaf ever turns toward the magnetic
meridian" Another writer says:
fortunately none 60 the prairies for
the first time without being shown, in
case of mishaps, the groups of COM
pass-weed which abound all over the
plains, and the broad fiat leaves of
which point due north and south with
an accuracy as unvarying as that Of
the magnetic needle ITSELF
Longfellow's 'Evangeline" contains
beautiful mention of this curious
provision of nature for guiding the
wanderers who might easily be lost on
the prairie:
Look at this delicate plant that lifts its head
from the meadow,
See how its leaves all point to the north as true
as the magnet;
1t is the compass flower, that the finger of God
has suspended
Here on its fragile stalk to direct the travellers
journey
Over the sea-like, painless. limitless waste Of
the desert.

Utilizing Lace Garments.

Lace garments that have long been
laid aside are now being used in MAX
ing lace dresses. For instance, a lace
sacque can easily be transformed into
gathered basque by stirring it at the
waist line on silk lining; the sleeves,
if flowing in the old fashion. should
simply be turned upside down, with
the widest part gathered in at the, arm
holes, making leg-of-mutton sleeves.
Nantes and shawls can be arranged to
form most stylish drapery. and lace
f1ounces are in great favor, not only
as parts of lace dresses. but as trim
mings on silks, surahs, etc 1t is well,
however, to take good care OF lace
mantles yet little longer. as it is pre-
dicted that they are to be worn again
as they were originally. Lace flounees
were formerly gathered over flounees
of tulle to bring the design of the lace
into full relief and French modistes
are again mounting them in this way:

The Age of Linen Paper.

According to Wehrs, the oldest
known specimen of linen paper extant
is document written A. ID. 1908
This was probably made as early as
1900 Indeed, many leading historical
writers concur in that date. Wehrs
supposes that, in making paper, linen
rags were either by accident or through
design, at first mixed with cotton rags,
so as to produce paper which was
partly linen and partly cotton, and
that this led by degrees to the manu-
facture of paper from linen only. He
also claims the honor for Germany.
But Schonemann gives that distinction
to Italy, because there. in the district
of Ancona, considerable manufacture
of cotton paper was carried on before
the fourteenth century,

FLOWERS FOR PERFUMES.
How Roses Are Grown and Gathered 70
Commercial Purposes.

How Roses Are Grown and Gathered for
Commercial Purposes.
One essential principle in perfume
culture is that all fancy and 'im-
proved varieties of flowers are dis
carded, and the natural, simple. old
fashioned kind are exclusively grown.
The roses grown are the common pink
ones. The single wild violet is pre-
ferred to all the larger artificiaIly de-
veloped varieties. and not double
tuberose is to be seen on any farm.
Only the white jasmine is used, the yell
low and less fragant variety being
either discarded or unknown. The
jasmine plants are set in rows about ten
inches apart, and are closely pruned
every year. Roses are grown on the
lower terraces. and are likewise cut low,
and the ground between the trees
heavily MANFRED After the roses
have been gathered the stem IS cut to
within few inches of the ground. so
as to conserve for the next season the
entire vigor of the plant. During the
harvest season traders or middlemen
go through the country every day with
wagons collecting flowers from the
farms, for which they pay prices vary
ing according to the extent of the crop
and the demands of the market Their
fragrant load is hurried to the nearest
manufacturer and delivered while the
flowers are still fresh and crisp. 1t is
necessary that the flowers should be
gathered in the morning as soon as
possible after the dews of the preced-
ing night have disappeared. In many
cases laboratories are erected on the
flower farm itself, and if the farm is of
sufficient size this adds very much to
the profits. Chambers Journal

Welded AT A WASH-TUR

A Western Clergyman Relates Some of
His Most Amusing Experiences.
The first marriage that solemnized
after settling down among the hills
and paw-paw bushes of Southern Indi-
aua was about forty-seven years ago.
1t was pleasant October evening, and
I was sitting by good. big fire in
little log house, just recovering from
two months tussle with infammatory
rheumatism. Although had come
out of the struggle victor, yet the
severe contest had left my body and
and limbs in a dilapidated condition,
while my summers work had brought
me little corn or less cash. SO my
financial affairs were in about as bad
condition as my swollen limbs. My
rheumatism compelled me to relin-
ouish the school that had contracted
to teach through the winter, thus rem
dering my prospects for a supply OF
bread and butter through the cold sea-
son quite precarious
While sat bordering over these I'M
pleasant facts. studying how to get the
next sack of -four, two couples OF
Young people of the neighborhood
walked in. After few commonplace
remarks, one of the young men whis-
pered to me asking me whether L
would marry him to one OF those girls
and take my pay in wheat Five min
uses later the husband and Wne
walked out to commence battling with
the realities of a partnership for ll1e'
The customary fee for marrying was
one dollar, and the price OF wheat
then was fifty cents a bushel A few
weeks after this the man brought me
a bushel and three pecks of wheat,
and promised to bring the other peck
as soon as his employer threshed 1t
out. Inever saw the wheat or man
afterward.
The next job had in that line was
in better style, but less romantic. Inc
man in this affair was we'll polished
and in good circumstances. He was
doctor and owned a grocery and
